I'll have a look into that, never knew you could do such things with debug.. I'm 20 so a lot of these things are new.... to me.

How could you possibly hook it up, even by mistake? ESDI/MFM is 34 pin and IDE is 40 pin. And, at the drive side, ESDI/MFM has card edge connectors. I don't think that even one of the morons that visits here on occasion could miss that.Don't do that. It's not the same cable, and if you do somehow manage to hook it up anyway, there's a fair chance you could fry both the drive and the controller. ESDI/MFM is not in any way compatible with IDE.
If you want an IDE drive, get an ISA IDE controller.

Of course, I've heard stories about someone hacksaw'ing off parts of pci-e card edge so the card would fit in a pci slot...Of course, you're correct that anybody who's paying even the slightest bit of attention to what they're doing would notice immediately that something's not quite right
